Centennial Garden Dedication

The Centennial Garden Dedication took place on Friday, May 3, 2019, at the University of Georgia Tifton Campus as part of the Centennial Finale events marking 100 years of service and research. The dedication included a ribbon‑cutting ceremony held behind the H.H. Tift Building, restoring a historic formal garden to the center of campus.

The Centennial Garden recreates a formal garden that once existed on campus and was later replaced by a parking area. The new garden honors the campus’s history while looking ahead to its future. All plants featured in the garden are varieties developed through University of Georgia research, highlighting the campus’s contributions to agricultural innovation. The dedication recognized past leaders and researchers and served as a lasting symbol of the campus’s first century and its commitment to the next.
